2/4 while other accused assaulted the informant by fist and slap and snatched his chain, ring and bracelet.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that no doubt it is alleged that the accused persons including the petitioner assaulted him by knife causing injury on chest and waist but then from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that three accused carrying knife are alleged to have assaulted the informant. It is further submitted that there is only one injury on chest and the same has been opined to be simple in nature as such it cannot be alleged that it was the petitioner who assaulted by knife causing injury on chest.

It is also submitted that petitioner is a young boy aged about 19 years and is a student and passed his intermediate examination from Upgraded Higher Secondary School Udaypura, Chapra Sadar, Saran. It is next submitted that if petitioner in the nature of allegation as alleged is sent to judicial custody, his entire career would get jeopardized and chances are bright that he may come in contact with hardened criminals.

Learned A.P.P. for the State and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner but then learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant is not in a position to rebut the submission of the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner that allegation of assaulting by knife is against Prince, Rahul and Suraj, but then informant received only one stab injury on chest which has been opined to be simple in nature. 7.
